"Take her down," says Dr. Antonio to snickering city officials and discreet church fathers. One night, as Dr. Antonio tramps obsessively around the sign, the poster girl (Anita Ekberg) comes down and offers to be his, all 50 ft. of her. Like a huge cat, she toys with her ankle-high mouse.

In a soaring flight of pathetic phallacy, he begs Ekberg to come down off that sign and stop damaging the public morals. "All right," says Ekberg. All ten fathoms of her descend from the sign.
